Across the world, wind power is growing fast—but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years.

Engineers from the University of Glasgow have revealed a new design for bladeless wind turbines that has the potential to optimize efficiency. Published in the Renewable Energy journal, the study used ...

Wind power technology in 2025 pushed well beyond incremental upgrades, with engineers rethinking how, where, and even what wind turbines look like. From floating giants the size of city blocks and ...

EPFL researchers developed optimal pitch profiles for vertical-axis wind turbines using a genetic learning algorithm. The new pitch profiles resulted in a 200% increase in turbine efficiency and a 77% ...

EDF Renewable Services and 3M have reached an agreement to install 3M’s Wind Vortex Generators on wind turbines across the United States. The wind vortex generators are small attachments made from ...

The polar vortex will engulf much of North America as we head into next week, with temperatures dipping down into the -20s and -30s in some Canadian provinces. Even states like the Carolinas, Georgia, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Llewellyn King has been a player in the energy space since 1970. Jimmy Dean, the country musician, actor and entrepreneur, ...

In fact, the turbines were able to reach an efficiency of 53%, which is just shy of Betz's Law, a theorem that says no wind turbine would be able to convert more than about 59.3% of wind energy into ...
